Is there a more Irish city in the United States than Boston? St. Patricks Day week is a fine time to take in the festivities and tour a bit of the city. Below are a few of the many events taking place in the Boston area to celebrate. Colorful floats, music and Irish good cheer await you at the City's annual St. Patrick's Day parade. Celebrate Irish heritage in Boston's most Irish neighborhood. Join the estimated 600,000 people who'll turn out for this year's 106th St. Patrick's Day Parade in South Boston. The parade steps off at 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 18, beginning at the Broadway "T" Station and ending at Andrew Square; there have been some slight modifications to the parade route this year.
